As spring is unfolding, temperatures are getting milder and the fickle weather conditions call for a more innovative wardrobe. Luckily, the shift towards tech fashion that has been shaping retail industry, means that our options are becoming more suited to our demanding everyday lives. When it comes to today's fashion, the industry has made many changes. Primarily we're seeing a strong focus from brands to become more design oriented and technologically innovative.

We all know that one of the most talked about aspects of "the thaw" is that we are one step closer to beach season. With the warm weather comes the will to get back into workout gear and this season prides itself on inventive lifestyle sportswear. No one leads this category like athletic fashion brand forerunner, Nike. Whether you're planning on running marathons or running errands, you need to get your hands on the Nike Flyknit shoe collection. Made by knitting the shoe uppers, for strength and maximized use of fabric, it took a team of designers, engineers and programmers over four years to develop the micro engineering static properties of the pliable fabric. Perfect for those long travel days, the shoes are featherweight and fit like a sock, not surprising since they were modeled after them after all.

Our favorite pants of the season are the Nike Tech Fleece. Constructed to trap in body heat while remaining effortlessly lightweight, the ergonomic pant can be worn around the house but is sophisticated enough to pair with a classic cut knit top and be worn to a family brunch.

Performance sportswear doesn't end with shoes and sweatpants, Swedish brand Björn Borg has taken its undie game to the next level with a series of Active Underwear. Made with hydropro materials and mesh technicalities, the idea is to keep you focused on your workout rather than your sweaty gear.

As our lives become more and more on-the-go and technology continues to develop, we have become a generation that craves DIY diagnostic information. The Jawbone UP3 is no exception in this wondrous world of fashion gadgets. Known to be the most advanced activity tracker, the sleek bracelet is fully equipped to give you a complete health report. Counting steps is a thing of the past, this tracker can log all your activities, count your calories burned, lets you know how well you're sleeping, and helps you care for your most important organ, your heart.

If you think that's cool, wait till you try on a pair of Sensoria Smart Socks. These socks are not your average white cotton gym socks, they are infused with textile pressure sensors that communicate with a Bluetooth-powered anklet you wear while running. This relays your cadence and foot landing technique to your smartphone. Follow along with their metronome pace tracker or tweak your impact points by reacting to the virtual coaching. The feedback from the Sensoria Smart Socks is directed to help improve your running rhythm.

Dressing up for the office throughout the Spring season can be tricky, sticking to office dress codes while trying to stay fashionable and weather appropriate can be quite a balancing act. We rely on high-quality designs to provide the oomph we all sartorially crave. No one does design like the fashion powerhouses of Want Les Essentiels and Filippa K.
